I only managed a -57, but I'm still a good "Communist/Marxist/Socialist/Secular Humanist Worldview Thinker".
You'd think after all these centuries of different Christian cults being so terribly wrong on just about everything, that no group today would be so damn sure that they just KNOW what their god wants. But alas, it is not to be.

6. What of the question using the bible to justify war, and |
|
capital punishment?
Is that in the old testament somewhere? Because I'm sure that Jesus said, "Blessed are the peace-makers" and "Do unto others"
somewhere there's a "judge not, lest ye be judged"

13. The magic of the bible! |
|
Jesus also said that he came not to bring peace, but a sword.
The bible has so many texts written by so many people with so many agendas, you can literally use it to "biblically support" just about any position on any issue.
Which is why many of us want its influence far, far away from government.

26. Oh I have no doubt things have been lost in translation. |

That's part of the reason the bible is such a messed up book today.
But that's a quote from the New International Version, which according to the bible site tried to be as true as possible to the original text:
The New International Version (NIV) is a translation made by more than one hundred scholars working from the best available Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts. It was conceived in 1965 when, after several years of study by committees from the Christian Reformed Church and the National Association of Evangelicals, a trans-denominational and international group of scholars met at Palos Heights, Illinois, and agreed on the need for a new translation in contemporary English. ...
The translation of each book was assigned to a team of scholars, and the work was thoroughly reviewed and revised at various stages by three separate committees.The Committee submitted the developing version to stylistic consultants who made invaluable suggestions. Samples of the translation were tested for clarity and ease ofreading by various groups of people. In short, perhaps no other translation has been made by a more thorough process of review and revision.

4. Didn't Christ teach "communism" in the true sense of the word? |
|
Edited on Thu Mar-03-05 11:06 AM by Postman
he certainly wasn't teaching "capitalism", which is basically - greed.
It just goes to show how distorted and hi-jacked the message of the non-violent Christ has become in the hands of rightwing lunatics.
The same people who want to prevent abortions are against birth-control and any kind of gov't aide mothers may need to help raise their babies. So we end up with a society where women become breed-mares and all the little starving children running around are no ones responsibility but the birth-mothers.

8. True sense of the word communism............ |
|
What would that be? I want to be sure before I agree with you, but one thing I do agree with is that Jesus didn't teach "capitalism', or any political system, I don't think.

everything was shared.
Jesus was the original "peace protester"
He was a threat to the power structure because of his unique way of protest - "non-violence"
He was able to unite people in non-violent action against tyranny and unjust rule.
Today he would be labeled a "commie, pinko, liberal" by the very people who use his name to justify their ignorance.
BTW: "capitalism" isn't a political system, its an economic system.

19. on Capital Punishment: |
|
The Bible states that the government does not bear the sword in vain. Numerous verses throughout the Bible make it clear that capital punishment administered by the government, for those that have committed capital crimes, is biblically acceptable.

20. I only manage a -21% amazingly enough |
|
but some of these questions show an ignorance of Marxism. For example, its not the job of the federal government to create wealth, Marxist or no. The job of a Marxist federal government may be to stop the hoarding of wealth by a few individuals, but that's a different story.
I also manage to score 83% (!) on social issues through questions like: "Truth is either nonexistent or unknoweable". I strongly disagree, which seems to make me a Biblical thinker... well, their definition of truth and mine clearly differ. The Moon ain't made of cheese, and that's the truth, and its damn well knowable. This website seems to assume that the only options are the Bible and a bastardised postmodernism, which is bollocks IMO.

I'm sure I'd have gotten worse if I haddn't put "no opinion" on a lot of the "bible-believing christians should think this"-type questions, since I'm not one.
Looking at the breakdown, oddly enough I scored a +50 ("Moderate Biblical Worldview Thinker") on Education because they don't recognize that left-libertarians can superficially come up with answers similar to theirs, though for profoundly different reasons. Balanced it out with -50 on Religion and -58 for Science, luckily. Wouldn't want anyone getting a bad impression of me.
